In The Lord of the Rings Adventure Book Game, Sauron’s shadow has fallen across Middle-earth, and the One Ring must be destroyed. In order to complete their daunting quest, players need to work together to help cherished Lord of the Rings characters journey from The Shire to the fires of Mordor, all while avoiding the Eye of Sauron.
This third entry into Ravensburger’s “adventure book” line is broken into eight “chapters” that are experienced over eight different board game “pages”. Each new chapter provides puzzles and challenges that players need to overcome to advance the story. The game allows for flexible play for solo or co-operative family gaming, so players can choose their style of adventure, and each chapter takes approximately twenty minutes to play.

Surprisingly thematic, simple cooperative game set in the world of the Peter Jackson film trilogy (definitely follows the film IP rather than the novels). Great little pick up and deliver (esque) game that really works as a giant spatial puzzle. Each one the eight boards uses the same simple mechanics but feels unique.

Un jeu coopératif sous forme de livre qui rappellera la version de Mr KNIZIA. Ici 8 tableaux (double page), 15 à 20mn par chapitres qui sont découpées en 3 à 5 objectifs. A son tour on déplace 1 à 2 personnages (on les incarne tous) puis on fais une action supplémentaire comme valider les missions, partager les cartes (car pour valider une mission il faut obtenir une situation donnée et défausser une ou des cartes précises), ... Chacun des chapitres à ses propres règles (dans le chapitre 1 : les 2 cavaliers noirs se baladent en tournant en sens horaire sur les cases sombres et essayent d'attraper les hobbits). Puis on pioche 2 cartes et enfin on tire une carte évènement numérotée de 1 à 15 (ce qui limite à 15 tours les chapitres) et on se réfère à la table des évènements propres à chacun des chapitres (ici ça fait avancer 1 à 2 cavaliers noirs de 1 à 2 cases). Gameplay assez limité et linéaire, bon matériel : à réserver aux fans du seigneur des anneaux.

Very fun and tight gameplay but really lacks in replayability unless you progressively add some house rules to make it much harder, even then it only adds another play through or two.
